Hi! I'm just an amateur seeking info on fixing a 47-inch Olevia 747i that I was gifted. I hold a amateur radio license, but actually working on electronics is not a competence by any means!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, my name is Brant. I suppose this will officially be the first message board I have joined. I came across it trying to troubleshoot a monitor I bought at Goodwill. I have always loved taking things apart, fixing broken things and creating new uses for them. I am also a thrift store addict.

Coming across this forum has enticed me to combine these passions, generally electronic purchase from goodwill have been limited to functioning things. I think I am going to begin attempting to enjoy taking apart some broken ones now and seeing what I can create.

With all things in life, I hope this becomes one more piece to the puzzle on my path to ruling the world.

Hello everyone, My name is Jeff. I'm an industrial sandblaster/painter by day and an electronics hobbyist/enthusiast by night. I found this forum by doing a search for a power supply board for a tv I am working on. I love the feeling of tearing into something, figuring out the problem, fixing it, and seeing the item work again. I don't have a formal education in electronics, but I am an eager learner from all that I can find to read. From the looks of it, there will be an abundance of learning here. Thank you all for this forum and the learning opportunities contained herein.

I am a technician with limited experience but lots of motivation. I joined after I decided to put my skills to a test and purchased a broken 70" Sharp Aquos LED TV. It would be nice to get my hundred back plus a few dollars. I have no place to hang a large TV so it's going on craigslist as soon as it is fixed. Anyway from a redneck here in Alabama, Howdy, hello or Buen Dia.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all,

Just here to introduce myself... Like most here, an amateur that enjoys taking things apart and currently has a faulty LCD tv that I can't for the life of me figure out!

Tons of great info on here already so hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it eventually!!!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, guys.
Come across this forum surfing the Int'net for some info on LED TV backlit troubleshooting. Found it very helpful. Noted a friendly atmosphere there in the forum while reading threads. As for me, I do some TV and other home appliance electronic stuff repair. Also mount antennas, install surveillance systems, and about.
So, nice to meet you.

Hello everyone. My name is Ben. I am from Detroit, MI. I work in IT for one of the local universities. I went to school for computer engineering technology. In my free time I like working on construction projects, electronics projects (I have a number of Arduinos) and automobile projects. I am joining this forum mostly because I am seeking the expertise of its members to diagnose an issue I am having with a Vizio television. I spent a number of years doing software and hardware computer support so I am no stranger to the classic "Bad Caps".

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Howdy.

I ended up here trying to decide if I would be able to repair a plasma TV if one of the buffer or driver boards went. The answer was yes. Always a good answer to find!

I'm in NYC and have vintage HiFi as a hobby, but I also have some vintage A/V gear like the Vidicraft.
